Richard captured both our engagement shoot in April 2022 and our wedding in September 2022. Even after almost a year since our wedding, I'm still swooning at the photographs and feeling grateful to have worked with him. Here's what I appreciated most about having Richard as our photographer (in no particular order)

Flexibility: Richard was incredibly accommodating right from the start. He patiently worked with us to tailor the photography contract to our preferences. During our engagement shoot, when we ran behind schedule, he allowed us extra time to ensure we got the best shots with our outfit changes. Richard also made sure to inquire about any specific shots or poses we desired, which I greatly appreciated.

Personable: Richard helped us feel at ease throughout the entire process. He quickly became a friend. On the day of our engagement shoot, he surprised us with a sweet gift, and he touched base with us frequently leading up to our wedding.

Dependability: Richard was prompt in responding to emails. He arrived early on our wedding day, and he even stayed later to capture more moments on the dance floor. We received fully edited sneak peeks within 24 hrs of both the engagement shoot and wedding! Our complete wedding photos were delivered around our one-month anniversary, which was an added bonus.

Delivery: Richard's portrait shots are amazing and his editing skills are *chef's kiss*. He adds special touches to certain shots to clean up the background or to add some extra flare. I was also pleasantly surprised by the candid moments he captured. A+++ for his eye for beauty and attention to detail.

Passion: Richard's enthusiasm shines when he discovers the perfect location, angle, or lighting for a shot. It's clear that he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion translates into his wonderful work product and professionalism when working with clients.


Thank you so much, Richard!

Richard was so great! We booked last minute engagement shoot because our original plan was canceled due to smoke up in Northern California. Richard was very accommodating to our dates since we were only in SoCal for a short time period and it was kind of a spur of the moment thing. He gave us logistical tips and helped us figure out where we wanted to shoot even though we didn't officially book him yet. It was our first photoshoot and I was a bit nervous since I never know what to do/how to pose for photos but Richard was helpful in guiding us and the pictures turned out great! It was obvious that he truly enjoyed his work because he kept asking US if it was okay to take more photos! Of course we were down! Turn around for the photos was also super fast and again the quality turned out great! I would highly recommend.

I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Richard. He was an immense contribution to the enjoyment of our wedding. He used his discerning eye to extract the raw wonder of our landscape (Red Rock Canyon SP) and capture the beautiful spirit of our wedding. He's talented, punctual, patient, and works hard to capture amazing shots. Case-in-point: to survey a potential location for a shot he jogged about 1/4 mile in full gear through the desert. He's also available to sign as a witness if you need :) Forever grateful for this man and his talents!
